Weaving together the stories of three generations, this tale reminds readers that art and faith are gifts powerful enough to communicate across time.

Forbidden. Hidden. Denied. Can art be powerful enough to endure?
Ragni Clauson's work, relationships, and body all seem to be falling apart. And she isn't convinced that spending her vacation fixing up her great-grandmother's cabin and supervising her rebellious teenage niece, Erika, will offer any much-needed rejuvenation.
As Ragni and Erika clean, they begin to uncover the secret paintings and life of Nilda, Ragni's ancestor who lived in the cabin in the early 1900s. Ragni doesn't know how much she has in common with her great-grandmother, but it becomes clear Nilda faced her own struggles. Taking care of home and menfolk, fighting off locusts, raising her daughter, and finding time to paint in the midst of it all were not easy tasks. Will Nilda's passion for enduring art re-ignite Ragni's artistic soul a century later?
Weaving together the stories of three generations of women, "The Brushstroke Legacy" stirs us to believe that no matter the circumstances, we are called to use our gifts- never knowing when they might bring a stranger to a new place of hope.
